31those counted from the tribe of Zebulun were 57,400.
32From the sons of Joseph—the sons of Ephraim (their generations according to their families, to their ancestral households, by count of the names of all those 20 years old and upward going out with the army),

36From the sons of Benjamin (their generations by their families, their ancestral households, by number of the names of every one 20 years old and upward going out with the army),
37those numbered from the tribe of Benjamin were 35,400.

46all those who were counted totaled 603,550.
